A OROAK FROM THE OLD SOUTH

Mr.. II. w. Grady, one of the editors of the
Atlanta Constitution, has received great
deal of praise for his eloquent speech on ''The
New South" 1t did contain some good
thoughts, we'll expressed. He said some good
things, and said them WE'LL But one swallow
does not make summer and it would be hasty
to conclude from Mr.. Grady's speech that
there are no Bourbons left in the South.
There are too many. There is, indeed, a
new South" but the old South still sur
vives and its spirit crops out in many ways
An article in the Charleston News and Courier
shows phase of it. The Philadelphia Times
having remarked that the character of
Abraham Lincoln was far better understood
and moro respected in the South than it form
erly was, the News and Courier saws:
eve 60 entirely with the Philadelphia
Times, and without reservation, in the sug-
gestion that Mr. Lincoln is better understood
than he used to be, and that he is unquestion-
ably respected, and, in limited sense, is even

measure this feeling springs from the convic-
| ton that the South would no! have been so
tortured, and plagued, and robbed by the Re-
publicansif Mr. Lincoln-kindly, generous pa
triotic in a high sense-had not been murdered
as he was. But we deny absolutely that
among thoughtful Southerners there is any
such thing az an intelligent recognition OF
Mr.. Lincoln as typical American. Full
credit is given to him for his shrewdness, his
knowledge of men; his loyalty, his persever

THE Trade and Labor Assembly of Chicago
had ali election of officers on Sunday in which
the issue was squarely made between the con-
servatives and Socialists, or those of social
istic tendencies This assembly is an amalga-
mated labor organization. embracing major
ity of the local assemblies of the Knights of
Labor. Hitherto it has maintained the char
acter of conservatism as against the social
istic influence, but in the election on Sunday,
after long and heated session, the Socialists
elected their ticket The result is a triumph
for the worst elements among the worlxiugmen
in Chicago-the radical revolutionary class,
embracing pretty much all the foreigners, all
the sympathzers with the condemned An
archists and all the anti-Powderly men. The
triumph of this class is to be regretted, but
it must not be taken rs indicative Of the
status of workingmen generally. Chicago is
undoubtedly, the most socialistic city in the
the United States. There is very large and
very bad foreign element there, and the entire
body of workingmen have become more o,
less tinctured with socalistic views. The
mass of workingmen throughout the country
are conservative in their views and tenden
cics, and have no sympathy With socialism.

Mrs. Lucy PARSONS, the Chicago female
Anarchist, lectured in St.~Louis on Sunday
night. After arraigning the government and
everything else, she concluded that the only
remedy was the abolition of the wage system
and the rights of property, and the adoption
of the cooperative system. This change
might be brought about peacefully, she said
but it was hardly probable that the property
owners would allow their possessions to be
taken from them without a struggle, and
force would have to be used. But the change
must come, cost what it may. So she would
substitute ''the cooperative system" for the
rights Of property. That is new name for
robbery. This was the noble sentiment that
actuated "Jim Cummings" he thought other
people had more than their share, and he in
augurated the operative system by rob-
bling the Adams Express Company. It would
be pleasant to know what part this interesting
female from Chicago proposes to play in the
new cooperative" system. She would hardly
be content with holding the mems hats while
they cut Threats; her ardent and aspiring
nature would doubtless impel her to engage
in throat cutting on her own account
